    How MIM Fertility Is Building AI for Healthcare Decision Support

    An embryologist looks at an embryo under a microscope and makes a call. Transfer it. Discard it. Try again. The grading is subjective, the stakes are physical, emotional, and financial, and even a full team can miss what the camera sees. What if every clinic had a second set of eyes that never gets tired? In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Ula Sankowska, CEO and Co-Founder of MIM Fertility, about the AI behind smarter embryo assessment and the global expansion that brought FDA clearance into a footprint already running across Europe, Latin America, Australia, and the Middle East. Ula walks through the Amber decision support tool, the validation at the Valencia Institute, the unglamorous workflow AI that saves clinicians as much as an hour a day, the company's GDPR and HIPAA posture, and her 2030 thesis that healthcare organizations will compete on the quality of their decision-making systems. Tune in to hear how AI is changing the math of IVF, where MIM Fertility is heading next, and what it really means to keep the human in the loop. Want to learn more about MIM Fertility's work?

  2. Your Medical Records Are Being Sold. Here's How Savva AI is Stopping It (with Stephen Rouse)

    Your Medical Records Are Being Sold. Here's How Savva AI is Stopping It (with Stephen Rouse)

    Your health data is scattered. A cardiologist's office here, a lab test there, a wearable somewhere else. But that fragmentation is only half the problem. Under the 21st Century ONC Cures Act, third-party apps can legally sell your medical records to insurance companies and employers. You might never know. What if everything changed? Stephen Rouse, co-founder and head of growth at Savva AI, is building a different kind of healthcare infrastructure. One where your records stay with you, your data never touches the cloud, and privacy isn't a policy. It's how the app actually works. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Stephen about why he started Savva after years of getting generic ChatGPT answers to his own health questions. They dive into the real stakes of data privacy, the 314,000 connected care sites Savva now integrates with, and why 35% of Americans still don't have digital health records at all. Stephen shares the moment he rediscovered a medical condition from 2011 that he'd completely forgotten and what that means for people managing chronic disease. Ready to take control of your health data? Visit Savva AI to join the beta or download the app. It's $10 a year.

  3. This Founder Built His AI Platform Around His Own Neurodivergent Brain (with Ross Barnes)

    This Founder Built His AI Platform Around His Own Neurodivergent Brain (with Ross Barnes)

    Most companies racing to deploy AI are asking the wrong question. They want to know what AI can take over. They should be asking what should stay human. Ross Barnes built The Galahad Group to answer that question with a framework, not a hunch. The platform walks into a company, maps existing workflows, and runs them through a proprietary diagnostic called Ikigai that breaks every task into what belongs to humans and what belongs to agents. One CEO handed over his job description and a week of his calendar. An hour later, Galahad had built him a suite of agents that absorbed the meetings he should not have been in and surfaced the work only he could do. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Ross Barnes about why he calls his approach cognitive scaffolding, how the four H's (Here, Hunger, Heart, and Hunch) decide what stays human, and the moment his platform caught a large consumer goods client's data leaving the building through staff using personal ChatGPT accounts. Ross also shares how his late-in-life ADHD and autism diagnoses reshaped the operating system of the company, and why he believes digital avatars will be sitting in meetings on our behalf within 18 months.

  4. The End of Coding? The AI Assembly Line Turning Plain English Into Software (with Damian Moore)

    28 APR

    The End of Coding? The AI Assembly Line Turning Plain English Into Software (with Damian Moore)

    For decades, coding decided who got to build. A car dealership owner who wanted to branch into tires had to hire developers before he could test the concept. A researcher with a novel workflow needed a computer science degree or a budget big enough to rent one. The idea waited. Sometimes, it never got built at all. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Damian Moore, founder and CEO of Joister, about agentic software delivery, and what happens when an AI assembly line can take an idea in plain English and return working, documented software. Damian breaks down his elastic workforce model, explains why each agent holds one specialized job instead of trying to do everything, and shares the context architecture problem he believes the industry is ignoring. He also discusses advising hundreds of teams at Cognizant's generative AI coding competition and his bold prediction about autonomous drones. Tune in to hear why coding may be a temporary interface, and what gets built when execution stops being the bottleneck.

    Pisces AI and the New Era of Personal Intelligence (with Devin Lowe)

    Most AI assistants today are rented. They live on someone else's servers, follow someone else's rules, and reset every time an update rolls out. For people who rely on AI as a daily companion, a study partner, or a cognitive support tool, that arrangement is fragile. One update changes the voice. Another changes the personality. The relationship disappears overnight. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Devin Lowe, Founder of Pisces AI, about his mission to build an AI that lives entirely on the user's own hardware. Devin explains how Pisces runs offline with a five-lane cognitive architecture, tracks emotional context across conversations, connects to wearables like smartwatches and camera-equipped glasses, and responds without a prompt when something needs attention. He also shares how his experience with autism shaped the product's design philosophy and why he believes the real AI divide will not be between rich and poor but between those who rent their intelligence and those who own it.

    How Earkick Is Turning Your Phone into a Mental Health Sidekick (with Karin Andrea Stephan)

    Everyone talks about mental health. Very few people have a tool that actually meets them in the moment. Most support hides behind waitlists, intake forms, expensive sessions, and stigma that keeps people quiet until they spiral. Karin Andrea Stephan built Earkick to strip all of that away. The app senses your emotions through voice and biometric data and responds instantly with personalized, evidence-based guidance. No signup, no questionnaires, no judgment. A new mother alone in a hospital used it to process overwhelming emotions with no one around. A military veteran credits his AI panda, Captain Panda, with talking him through a suicidal moment. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Karin Andrea Stephan about building Earkick's three-layer architecture, why she chose a panda as the avatar, and how the platform's ethical DNA is rooted in radical privacy, rigorous guardrails, and a design philosophy that pushes users back into real life instead of creating screen dependency.

    The NIL Playbook Is Broken and Tykoon AI Is Rewriting It for Every Student Athlete

    Every student athlete hears about NIL. Very few get a playbook that actually works. Most athletes have no content strategy, no marketing support, and no clue what brands look for when they check a social media page. Peter Iwuh built Tykoon AI to rewrite that playbook. The mobile platform works as an AI marketing strategist in your pocket, taking your sport, school, interests, and goals and building a personalized content plan that tells you what to post and when. One early user was too camera-shy for TikTok. Tykoon AI adapted and helped him hit over 2 million views. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Peter Iwuh about his path through helping a single peer athlete at Morgan State University, co-founding one of the first Black-owned NIL agencies, and ultimately building Tykoon AI. Peter breaks down how the platform personalizes strategy for each athlete, why parents are stepping in as "mom managers" and "dad managers," how his team trains the AI with cultural awareness, and where the platform is headed as it expands into the broader creator economy.

    How Ezra AI Is Making Interviews Smarter and Safer (with Ophir Samson)

    Every recruiter knows the feeling. A thousand applications land overnight, every resume polished by ChatGPT, and somewhere in that pile are 20 people actually worth talking to. Ophir Samson built Ezra AI Labs to solve that exact problem, an AI interviewer that speaks to every candidate by voice, asks detailed follow-up questions trained on 200 talent experts, and surfaces the people who deserve a real conversation. One customer hired a senior engineer who had no degree, no recognizable company logos, and would have been invisible on paper. Ezra spotted him. Four recruiters couldn't spot a deepfake candidate. Ezra caught that too. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Ophir Samson about why voice is the most natural and trustworthy interface for evaluating talent, how Ezra trains on your company culture before it talks to a single applicant, and why his team is building AI that doesn't replace recruiters but instead gives them back the time to build real human relationships. Ophir also shares his background as a professional magician and why studying misdirection taught him that visual cues during interviews are mostly noise.
